According to MediaTakeOut.com, rapper Jay-Z may have suffered some
hard knocks at the poker tables recently in Las Vegas having
indulged himself to a spot of high-stakes poker. The man who was
reported to have been in attendance at the game said, “It was
supposed to be a friendly game with everyone betting only [a few
hundred dollars] a hand ... Jay Z was down only about [a thousand
dollars] when he raised [another player] $500,000.”
The insider continued, “It was a bold move for Jay Z -
unfortunately his pair of queens didn't beat [the other player's]
flush.” The source added, “There were professionals at the table,
he really should have known better than that.”
The rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, is reported to be
worth in excess of $500 million not only earning from his musical
talents but his business interests in Def Jam Recordings and
Roc-A-Fella Records. Jay-Z also co-owns the 40/40 club and the New
Jersey Nets., A sustained run of results like that that might see
Beyonce’s other half take up other, slightly more pedestrian, games
though.

Four online poker players that won prize packages into the $2,400 main event of the PPC Aruba World Championship 2016 courtesy of Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes are on their way to the Caribbean this weekend and will be joined by vlogger ‘TheTrooper97’.

Americas Cardroom has released its fifth and final sponsored video chronicling the action from the Punta Cana Poker Classic 2016, which ended on Sunday with Latvian player Eduards Kudrjavcevs taking the main event title and its $143,675 first-place prize.
